Yankee Doodle in New Haven Closed

Yes, the Doodle is gone. It's one of those places I seldom went to, but am depressed to hear it's out of business. A chain restaurant with a microwave, like Au Bon Pain across the street, is not a substitute.

Having eaten hundreds of breakfasts and lunches there 40+ years ago when I worked in the immediate area, I'm ashamed to admit I haven't patronized the Doodle since then after changing jobs. I feel like a person that always meant to go see an elderly friend or relative but never found the time till they were in the casket. "Cats in the cradle."A little piece of New Haven has died. RIP A new owner wouldn't be the same.
